It takes two to tango! I need everybody to sing with me.
KRISHNA DASIt takes two to tango! I need everybody to sing with me.
KRISHNA DASThe presence of real love in the world inspires me.
KRISHNA DASLet’s just chant and be good people, alright?
KRISHNA DASReal compassion is not emotional. Real compassion is based on the experience that all beings, which might appear separate, are actually a part of my own body, and I am a part of the body of the universe. We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
KRISHNA DASWe all inhabit our lives, in different ways to some degree. We see ourselves a certain way, and based on how we see ourselves, that’s how we see the world.
KRISHNA DASDon’t wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
KRISHNA DASIf I had been born in Germany with family of Nazis and if I had been raised with those beliefs, there was very little chance that I wouldn’t be exactly like all those guards and all those people who tortured everybody.
KRISHNA DASJust the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
KRISHNA DASChanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it. That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff’. You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.
KRISHNA DASOne of your biggest lessons so far in life has been to learn to forgive myself over and over again and not to be so harsh with myself.
KRISHNA DASDon’t give up on your dreams. You can become the person you know you really are.
KRISHNA DASTo love somebody is to let them be who they are and do what they have to do.
KRISHNA DASPractice is not about how you feel while you are doing it. You are planting seeds.
KRISHNA DASThe heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff – guilt, anger – this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.
KRISHNA DASThe ultimate act of power is surrender.
KRISHNA DASThere is an eighth color that we don’t have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
